Mechanical Excavators vs. Hydrovac Excavation
Daylighting is the uncovering and exposing of underground utilities and pipelines to the daylight hence the term daylighting.
The Badger Hydrovac system is a non-destructive method of excavating which replaces conventional backhoe and digging techniques. One of the key advantages of hydro excavators vs. mechanical excavators is speed and accuracy. The Badger hydrovac uses pressurized water and a vacuum system to quickly, safely and cleanly excavate around utilities and pipelines; a traditional backhoe operates at a much slower pace and does more damage to surrounding soil and potentially, to buried utility infrastructure.
The Badger Hydrovac is utilized in a number of general excavation and cleaning applications: Tank and pipeline cleaning, cage and trench shoring, potholing, piling holes and horizontal directional drilling.
